Now, there’s no shortage of ways to circumvent the block if you know what you’re doing, but perhaps one of the easiest routes we’ve seen so far involves a function built-in to a well-known browser.

Opera launched its Turbo feature back in March 2009, a feature that strips out all the crap to load Web pages faster. When it’s enabled, web pages are compressed via Opera’s servers so that they use less data than the originals. This means there is less to download, so you can view sites more quickly.

As noted by TorrentFreak today, however, enabling this feature also seemingly gains you access to blocked sites such as The Pirate Bay. To activate this feature requires little more than a single click in the bottom left-hand side of the browser.
